I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Fan Li was shocked after hearing this and couldn't help taking a breath:

"Ah? It turns out that sir doesn't have a perfect solution yet?"

Li Ran sneered, nodded first, and then said quite confidently:

"If Madam and Guang'er are really on the mountain, I will have my own way to make them leave as soon as possible. When the time comes, you and Chu Dang must escort them away as soon as possible! You must not be implicated by me!"

Fan Li was also worried after hearing this.

"This...how does it make...my husband and I have to advance and retreat together..."

Li Ran suddenly stretched out a hand to stop Fan Li's words, and then said calmly:

"I have my own way to make Gou Jian surrender. Then as long as Yue surrenders, I will be safe."

"Moreover, the Yue Kingdom is inherently indestructible, and this is the general trend of keeping the world in balance. Therefore, it is imperative to persuade the King of Yue to surrender, and it is also one of the purposes of my trip!"

When Fan Li heard this, he was puzzled and said:

"It's just... Gou Jian is King Wu Fu Cha's father-killing enemy. How can he easily spare Gou Jian?"

Li Ran stroked his beard and said:

"Wu Wang Fu Chai has achieved such great achievements at such a young age. It is inevitable that he is arrogant. He is arrogant and thinks that he can really control everything. Therefore, as long as Gou Jian is willing to condescend and even go to Wu to serve Fu Chai, Fu Chai will be very happy with his achievements. , this will definitely add prestige to oneself, and it may be difficult to refuse!”

"So as long as Gou Jian takes the initiative to surrender, there will be no problem in saving his life!"

Fan Li hesitated again:

"But... I'm afraid Zixu won't be able to tolerate Gou Jian!"

When Li Ran heard this, he sighed with regret. Because he knew that the tragedy of the soldier's life could not be changed.

"Wu Zixu will definitely oppose this matter with all his strength...and this matter may really bring disaster to him...there is nothing we can do!"

Fan Li went through Li Ran's words carefully from beginning to end, then nodded and said:

"So... the gentleman wants to use himself as a hostage to stay on Kuaiji Mountain, and on this condition, the wife and Guang'er can come down the mountain safely. Then, the gentleman will wait for an opportunity to persuade Gou Jian to surrender."

"In this way, not only can the people of Wuyue be saved, but also I can go down the mountain safely, and then reunite with my wife and Guang'er, right?"

Li Ran glanced at the numbers in front of him and felt sad that only he could see them.

"I hope so... I hope there's still enough time... Let's go, time is running out, we have to hurry up."

The three of them immediately set off and climbed a few more steps. Then they heard someone shout:

"Stop! Who are you? If we take another step forward, we will shoot arrows!"

Fan Li immediately stepped forward, raised his hands and said loudly:

"Behind me is Li Ran and Li Ziming, the eldest uncle of Chengzhou! I'm here to meet the King of Yue! Please report to me as soon as possible!"

When the other party heard the name "Grand Uncle Li Ziming", they looked at each other for a while and hesitated for a while before reacting:

"Don't move around! We'll go and report it right now!"

The leader on the opposite side asked his subordinates to go and inform the King of Yue. About half an hour passed before he came back and said:

"Your Majesty has an order to invite the three of you to speak on the mountain!"

As a result, those sturdy men from the Yue Kingdom with cut-off hair and tattoos immediately moved the rocks to make way for Li Ran and others.

However, just when Chu Tang wanted to follow him, he was suddenly stopped by the Yue people and pointed at the halberd in Chu Tang's hand:

"You can't bring the halberd!"

Although Chu Dang didn't understand the Yue language very well, he understood its meaning and couldn't help but said angrily:

"The halberd can't be left in your hands!"

Chu Dang's anger shocked the Yue people around him. They immediately became at odds with each other.

When Fan Li saw this situation, he knew that he must not force himself now. In desperation, he had no choice but to pat Chu Dan's shoulder, untie the sword from his waist, take Chu Dan's halberd, and put it on the He walked to the roadside and said in Chu language:

"Please keep an eye on it, you guys, we'll come get it when we get down from the mountain!"

When those people heard this, they laughed and laughed, obviously not believing that they could still make it down the mountain alive.

Li Ran didn't care about this and spread his arms, just to let them search him.

Chu Dang was not very happy at first and felt that it was really degrading to do so, but when he saw that both Li Ran and Fan Li followed suit, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Afterwards, the three of them were carried to the top of the mountain.

After passing the Nine Dragon Altar, there is the Mausoleum of Dayu. Walking further up, you will see a palace standing there. Kuaiji Mountain was originally an important stronghold of the Yue Kingdom, so it was normal for a villa to be built here.

Now, this palace has become the last stronghold of Yue King Gou Jian.

Li Ran and the other three entered the palace. There were only a few people in the huge hall, which seemed particularly empty.

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was sitting high and smiling. Although he is trapped here now, he is not afraid at all.

Li Ran and Fan Li stepped forward together and bowed deeply:

"Li Ran, the great uncle of Zhou Dynasty, has met the King of Yue!"

After hearing this, King Gou Jian of Yue couldn't help laughing and said:

"Hahaha! I have long admired Mr.'s name!"

Li Ran sneered, stepped forward and replied:

"The King of Yue has been making arrangements for me for many years. Now that Li Ran has come to the king, I would like to ask the king to let my daughter and wife go!"

After hearing this, King Gou Jian of Yue just waved his hand, not wanting to cause trouble, and just said:

"I have long heard about Mr. Sir's name, and I have admired him for a long time. I am really lucky to meet you today! I heard that during this imperial appointment, Mr. Sir was revered as 'King Su' by everyone in the world. I really envy you!"

"Sir, the title of 'Su King' is respected by everyone in the world, but Gu, the King of Yue, is a self-proclaimed king. Alas...it really makes Gu feel ashamed!"

Li Ran didn't want to hear more of the Yue King's chatter. He took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty! Please let your wife and daughter go. I will definitely be grateful! Li Ran is willing to stay with your Majesty in the future and work together with your Majesty to achieve great things!"

King Gou Jian of Yue narrowed his eyes and sneered, but said calmly:

"Oh... this matter is not urgent. It's just that... sir, there is an old acquaintance who happens to be here now. You should meet him first!"

King Gou Jian of Yue clapped his hands, and then a person appeared from the screen behind.

This person is none other than Shu Niu!

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. It can be said that Li Ran and Shu Niu have been fighting for most of their lives, and Li Ran basically has the upper hand.

But this time, the situation seems to have been reversed, as if the vertical bull is the final winner.

Shu Niu looked at Li Ran quite proudly, and even pretended to bow:

"The little man raised his ox and met the great uncle!"

Li Ran couldn't help but feel angry when he saw the bull standing upright, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice:

"Shu Niu! If there is anything strange between Le'er and Guang'er, I will definitely give you a terrible death!"

But Shu Niu sneered at this:

"Haha, what are you talking about, brother-in-law? Those are my sister and niece! What will I do to them?"

"Brother-in-law, please calm down! Otherwise, not only will you not be able to protect your family, but you may even die without a burial place!"

Li Ran was extremely angry. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Those were the two most important women in his life.

And his bullish attitude also made it even more difficult for him to collapse.

Li Ran knew very well that in order to achieve his goal, this person could even sacrifice the lives of his father and brother. What do these so-called sisters and nieces mean?

Li Ran took a deep breath and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty! Now I, Li Ran, am on the mountain, standing in front of your Majesty. Your Majesty's goal has been achieved. Please don't embarrass your wife and daughter anymore. Let my two men take them down the mountain. I, Li Ran, am willing to let your Majesty handle it!"

When King Gou Jian of Yue heard this, he suddenly laughed:

"Hahaha! Mr. Ziming! I have admired you for a long time, and I really wanted you to assist me in achieving great achievements."

"But... now that Wu Jun has forced Gu into a desperate situation, any great achievements are no longer important to Gu! Mr. Ziming... Gu and you can be said to have met each other too late!"

"What a pity...what a pity! If Gu could have met Mr. earlier, maybe he wouldn't be in this situation now."

Then, King Gou Jian of Yue pointed to the vertical ox next to him and continued to smile:

"Haha, but in the face of today's difficulties, Gu Yi is lucky to have the guidance of this noble scholar, and now he has another plan! So... I won't bother you with the next thing!"

After King Gou Jian of Yue said this, he immediately let out a burst of wild yet gloomy laughter, which made Li Ran's hair stand on end.

Li Ran first looked at the vertical ox, then looked straight at Yue King Goujian, feeling uneasy:

"Since Li Ran is of no use to the king, then please let the king release his wife and daughter!"
